Dave Willer from HGA presented a historical perspective of the master campus plan, along with the
current work (ED/Lab expansion/remodel) and concluded with proposed future phases. Willer noted the
2008 evaluation of the campus was looked at from a large-scale perspective. It was determined that the
nursing home was in the way for any future growth of the hospital. Then in 2009 a schematic design was
done for the expanded hospital. McKnight felt the campus development master plan needs to be
reviewed, since it is two years old. There was a lengthy discussion about the nursing home.
Willer was excused at 10:30 a.m.
The members reviewed the mission and vision. McKnight and Johnston agreed to fine-tune the vision
and mission and bring suggestions back to the full Board for their input.

Jones noted in July 2009, the board voted to proceed with building the hospital “support services
facility” on property south of the hospital on Yorkshire Drive. Jones asked if the members were
willing to move ahead with the plans to build the services support building. It was the consensus
of the group to hold on initiating construction of the support services building and to continue to
put their focus on the nursing home decision.
The meeting concluded at 12:08 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
